The way that all the copies of the content link to the original post should be some kind of SEO hack. I wonder if it’s triggering specific rules in search engines that detect it and downrank it as cheating.

Or scrambled all of their posts after APIgate (or whatever we’re calling it). Perhaps they came here, which means OP is right in saying we can be a new source of useful answers.

I was reading through that, waiting for them to mention marine fuel (which they do). Cleaner fuel is causing less cloud cover, so we’ve been accidentally geoengineering a cooler climate for a while - until we “fixed” it in 2020.

I read/watched something a few years back arguing that we should shoot sea water into the air from cargo ships to restore this beneficial effect.

What is Joe short for (in the coffee sense) in your mind? I know there’s a few theories, and the jamoke one seems the most plausible to me.

Why, who’s Joseph M Basile?

It’s irrational, which just appears random (which is why I said pseudorandom).

I don’t see why not, it’s just numbers, which is all we store most data as.

You could use it as a source of pseudorandom numbers to encrypt an infinite data steam, e.g. we’ll encrypt using e, starting at position 40468.

I watched and enjoyed that one yesterday, and he’s bang on the money. People here are saying “well it’s EoL” but that means it’s got all the way through development and its full lifetime with such a prominent set of bugs.

I don’t think I’ll be buying D-Link if that’s what supported means.

makes sense or is reasonable

That’s getting less and less relevant every day.

To be fair, you’ve added commas which makes it a parenthetical phrase. But yeah - people do speak like this in real life; technically, I should have said no-one speaks like this in non-impromptu speech without sounding stilted.

“Carl said on Thursday” is definitely more idiomatic (to my BrE ears, anyway) than “Carl on Thursday said”.

It’s a bit stilted and no-one would speak like that (at least without sounding pretentious), but it’s not bad grammar.

Also, shame on the moron that downvoted you for asking a question.

So they’ve just decided that all devices now support HEVC (H.265) and they’ll just disable transcoding? My media centre is on a Pi 3B and that can’t play h265 smoothly. If I had a Synology I’d be pretty annoyed!

Your argument is that a single backup is sufficient? I disagree, and I think that so would most in the selfhosted and datahoarder communities.

This is a lie, unless you know something the article doesn’t mention. The quoted chat log shows the character acting horrified and arguing against it.

Ah, so it’s not even possible with a different front-end (unless it stores extra data).

Yes, you can go to your profile and click on “Saved” to see your starred posts/comments.

One annoying thing is that it’s sorted by the original posting date, not the time you saved it, which might mean your most recently saved item isn’t even on the first page of results.

You’re downvoting and calling me wrong based on 30 seconds of research, so I’d say you are the instigator.

your initial points were incorrect

The backups in Google Drive are not accessible to you. The source you found doesn’t contradict me, because it doesn’t mention being able to access that backup, only delete or disable them.

You can only transfer your account, which doesn’t test the backup. Getting to the stage where you’ll be able to test the backup leaves you not logged in. The backup process needs a SIM.

As far as I know, the QR code is only for logging in to the web chat (or desktop version, I guess).

It’s possible there is a way, but I looked into it and couldn’t make it work. Feel free to try yourself, but this conversation’s turning into an unwanted argument and I’m out.
